You dont need an MPC when you just want to listen to
the whole beat.. without midisyncing devices...
You can do that with any sample acurate DAW..

This is anyway still an important test... We know now
that the soundengine of the MD is wobbely.. 
question remains..is that all bad or do we like it
that way?

Within sounddesign the akademik measurement is not
allways the proove of good or bad...

In case the wobbely timing has it nice things..as it
probably does in case of the MD, otherwise we would
have had the issue earlier..
I suggest that electron creates an option for priority
tracks..or at least one switchable priority track that
just runs straight on the clock..

That would allow to have an accurate edditing point
while still having the typical MD groove..

In case a straight timing just sounds better  they
should optimize that...

But... To avoid that the MD sounds stiff we would need
than individual track offset delays...

I owned an MPC 3000 for many years..its so straight
that it hurts..you need to shift certain instruments
to make it groovy...

The wobbeling of the MD creates this automatical
..just straighten it out probably wouldnt create a
better feel in all cases and for all styles...

In ideal we would have 1 or more selectable priority
tracks in the global menu... and individual track
delays.. from -3ms to +6 ms in 0.1 ms steps...thats
the range that has prooved beeing most usefull on my
nord modulars... but can be a bigger window of
cause...

The ideal place for such track delays would be
actually within the machines itself..what is probably
not possible... Or?
Function/Bank Group together with the Editpage/LFO
button could select an extra machine related window on
each track that would give another 8 parameters...

But...beside that a global menu funktion is probably
the easiest way to implement trackdelays here... It
just needs some user diziplin than to keep the BD on
one track...
